...admonishing the student body and their elected leaders. Unfortunately, this incident is far from an isolated event. In fact, it seems like just the latest in a trend of University Hall putting the appearance of propriety before a pragmatic approach to student safety and being completely dismissive of student input. Last spring’s new alcohol policy was similarly forced on students; canceled meetings, secret reports, and withheld information have become the norm. Students are making a genuine effort to work with University Hall, yet the College administration’s modus operandi shows a blatant lack of respect...
Releasing an album with a major record label is similar to giving birth. It usually takes nine months, and the pain can be unbearable. Even at its most efficient, the process requires the input and assent of retail conglomerates, lawyers, marketers, radio promoters and CD manufacturers. And if the project is a runaway success, it might bring in half the revenue it would have a few years...
...their five-day meeting in New Orleans, the Episcopal House of Bishops made their response to three demands presented by the Communion's leaders last February: that the generally liberal U.S. church accept the Communion input in creating conservative bishops to pastor some of its more disaffected members; that it cease to make any more gay bishops, as it did in 2003 with the Right Rev.

Here's the catch: It takes a lot of input, in the form of other, lesser fish - also known as "reduction" or "trash" fish - to produce the kind of fish we prefer to eat directly. To create 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of high-protein fishmeal, which is fed to farmed fish (along with fish oil, which also comes from other fish...
...tuna or striped bass or cod," says Brian Halweil, a senior researcher with WorldWatch, a Washington-based environmental NGO. By contrast, the fish species at the core of the millennia-long tradition of fish-farming in Asia and parts of Africa - catfish, carp and milkfish - actually require less fish input than is ultimately harvested, because they are herbivorous or omnivorous. In Asia, the idea of feeding several times more fishmeal to get one pound back would seem sheer folly. "Ultimately that is really where the solution is - to cut back on these carnivorous species and turn our attention to these...
